Master in Surface Treatments for Industrial Applications - University of Padua

Objectives

The aim of this Master is to train experts on the most technologically advanced surface cleaning and apply it to make:

• Dental Implants • Surgical Prostheses and Titanium Cardiac Valves • Titanium Compounds for ultra light cars • New technologies for glasses and jewels • Design and implementation of deposition sources

This Master aims to combine the metallurgic and surface treatments knowledge with the ability to use new technologies and diagnostics, which is mandatory to improve industrial processes. It implies a deep activity in laboratory at the INFN-LNL, in order to get used to different technologies (vacuum, cryogenics, chemical cleaning of surfaces, coating, and superconductivity) and will take advantage of the cooperation with private and state industries working in this sector.


The Master program is in collaboration with Confindustria Veneto. The idea of the Master draws inspiration from the Venetian Small and Medium Enterprise demand, which keeps reaching the INFN-National Laboratories in Legnaro in a constant and pressing way. The local industry asks for very well-trained experts issued from the Material Science sector, with a technological background which is useful for the industrial sphere. This Master is more based on a sort of "laboratory teaching", rather than a classroom one. The aim is to increase the candidates qualification, integrating and enriching lessons at University with consolidated research methods, techniques and analysis instruments, which are innovative in the industrial world

Job opportunities

At the end of the course, the candidate can directly enter the production and R&D sector of sponsor enterprises or be employed both as an expert to solve technologically complex problems and as a corporate adviser in cooperatives or trade associations. According to a survey led in hard coating industries of the tool or glasses or even decorative sector (such as the silver one), people seem to be very interested in employing experts with a specialized training as well as in specializing directly their graduated employees.
